Job Description

Role Description

Our accounting, finance, and procurement verticals are active and producing. Now we're building out our engineering practice — and we're looking for the right Independent Executive Search Consultant (1099) to own it.

• This isn't just a desk. It's a vertical.
• You'll step into an established firm with signed MSAs, active client relationships, and hiring authorities across energy, manufacturing, and aerospace & defense who need engineering talent now.
• This is a full-desk role.
• You'll develop client relationships, manage job orders, source and screen engineering candidates, coordinate interviews, negotiate offers, and manage placements — all under the Augmentis brand with real support behind you.

What You'll Do

• Own and scale the engineering vertical across Augmentis' client base, leveraging existing MSAs and client relationships from day one.
• Develop new client relationships and expand engineering hiring authority contacts within current accounts.
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle: job order intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and placement management.
• Execute both permanent/direct-hire searches and temporary/contract placements for engineering roles.
• Source, screen, and qualify engineering candidates with technical depth and confidence.
• Maintain real-time activity logs, candidate tracking, and deal progress in our CRM/ATS.
• Collaborate with Augmentis leadership and sourcing partners on active searches.
• Represent the Augmentis brand with professionalism and consultative expertise.

Engineering Disciplines

• Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, and Industrial Engineering
• Manufacturing and Process Engineering
• Machine Learning and Software Engineering
• Project and Construction Engineering
• Quality, Reliability, and Safety Engineering
• Supply Chain and Operations Engineering

Compensation Structure

• This is a commission-based independent contractor (1099) partnership with one of the most competitive structures in boutique search.
• Permanent Placements:
  • 50% commission on your first three successful placements — designed to get you earning quickly.
  • Tiered commission accelerators after your third placement, scaling up to 70% based on annual production.
  • Full-desk ownership (you develop the client AND source the candidate) = 100% production credit before commission calculation.
• Temporary / Contract Placements:
  • $400 placement commission per contractor placed on assignment.
  • $15/week per active contractor for the duration of each assignment.
  • Monthly calculation, paid semi-monthly.
• Additional Details:
  • All commissions paid via ACH direct deposit, semi-monthly (1st and 15th).
  • Fees earned upon Augmentis' receipt of client payment.
  • 12-month candidate ownership rights on candidates you source.
  • 18-month client ownership rights on clients you originate.
  • Sourcing partner support available — Independent Sourcing Partners handle candidate research so you can focus on client development and closing.

What You Bring

• Experience recruiting engineers in any capacity — agency, corporate, RPO, or independent search.
• OR a technical/engineering background with a transition into recruiting or talent acquisition.
• Strong understanding of engineering roles, qualifications, and technical terminology.
• Consultative, relationship-driven approach to client development and candidate management.
• Self-motivation and discipline to manage your own pipeline and production.
• Willingness to learn and follow a proven methodology (The Augmentis Method).
• Reliable internet connection and a professional remote work setup.
• Integrity, professionalism, and a commitment to quality placements over quick transactions.

Bonus (not required)

• Familiarity with the energy, manufacturing, or aerospace & defense sectors.
• An existing book of business or client relationships in engineering.
• Experience with CRM/ATS platforms.
• Professional engineering network or association memberships.

• Established client base — Signed MSAs and active relationships across energy, manufacturing, and aerospace & defense. The door is already open.
• Uncapped earning potential — Commission accelerators reward production, not politics.
• Full-desk ownership model — Your clients and candidates are yours, with 12-month candidate and 18-month client ownership protections.
• Sourcing partner support — A growing network of Independent Sourcing Partners to help fuel your pipeline.
• Proven methodology — The Augmentis Method provides structured training for both recruiting fundamentals and business development.
• Boutique culture — You're a partner, not a number. Direct access to the Managing Partner and firm leadership.
• Remote flexibility — Work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Dual revenue streams — Build recurring income through contract placements alongside executive search fees.
• Growth path — For the right person, this vertical can grow into a leadership role within the firm.
